Topic: battery tender (Read 1149 times)

OK folks, this may be a dumb question... but I'm gonna ask it anyway. I have my bike on a battery tender junior. Up till tonight the light turned green, indicating full charge each night. Tonight, the light stayed solid red... indicating still charging. It has already been on long enough to change to green but hasn't.

Now the question... does this indicate a problem with the tender? The battery? Not enough information to tell?

There isn't anything that should be drawing power from the battery that I can tell. Any ideas? Thanks.

Not sure if this happens every time but I got my bike used but only 3800mi and the battery was very low. Filled it up and charged it and all was good for a few weeks till I was 100miles from nowhere and it died.

Or at the other extreme you can get a battery at Walmart for 35 and replace it every... what, how long do they last? I bought one a few years ago it sat all winter still connected. I charged it up and it cranked the motor fine, but not for long.
